GENERAL BoULANGEK.

Turn of Affairs Which Promises to Give
Him Decided Advantage.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, July 24.-Paris advices report that
General Boulanger has gained many friends by
the statement in La France newspaper that he
refused to head coup d'etat. The paper un-
doubtedy speaks as the ex-Min,ster of Wars
organ. 1t offers to publish the names of nearly
hundred French statesmen who in the
conspiracy. The publication OF the article has
caused much excitement among the Parisians,
tits recognized as the elimination of hostili-
ties between Boulanger and his enemies. 1t will
longer be possible for the anti i-B Boulangerists
to accuse the General of playing bombastic
part, unless they accept his challenge to
have the government order him to give the
names Of those concerned in the alleged attempt
to violate the constitution. 1t is the conviction
that he has proofs of his assertion at hand
which is winning him fresh adherents Here in
London it must be admitted that Boulanger is
universally regarded true patriot. To un-
prejudlced observers here his loyalty in refus-
ing to take advantage of popular clamor to de-
mand retention in control of the army, and his
subsequent quiet acceptance of command IN
exile from Paris have been appreciated the
acts Of a true soldier. Many are inclined
to accept true the persistent assertions of his
eulogists that he would eventually prove his dis
interestedness, and show that he had saved
France from revolution, and if La Frances
article proves to be we'll founded, it,would seem
as if these predictions were soon to be verified
The question of vital interest is whether
the government will notice the challenge
ignore it. The matter is pretty TO be
brought up in the Chamber, and exciting ses-
sion is looked for There is little room
for doubt that in case the matter comes
up in the Deputies in the form suggested by La
France. and the government fails to show good
grounds for disregarding the challenge. Cabinet
crisis will result, If General Boulanger comes
out of this affair with credit and is recalled to
the ministry, his seat there will have a Sc
curity which it lacked before, and which will
enable him to carry through the policy of
venge with which he is credited by Germany, if
be really desires to do so. The importance of
the La France episode thus proves to be great.
La France Begins Back Out.
PARIS, July 24-M. Cassagnac published a
fiat denial of the story that eighty four generals
proposed coup d'etat to Gen. Boulanger and
challenged La France to publish their names
La France asked Gen. Ferron's permission to
publish the names. After denying the story
NJ. Cassagnac printed article headed 'Cow-
ard, Liar" The result is that NJ. Laur, admit
ting himself to be the author of the original
NJ Cassagnac to fight a duel. La Justice con.
siders the letters OF too small consequence to be
worthy any bother, and it expresses the opinion
that too great liberties have been taken in
twisting words uttered by Gen. Boulanger in
the intimacy of the home circle. La France is
now backing out of the affair.

THE WHEN
WEATHER AND CROPS.
Generally Favorable Conditions for Crops,
Though Rain Will Shortly be Needed.

WASHINGTON, July 24-The signal Office
weather crop bulletin for the week ending July
%. reports that the temperature for the week
has been normal or slightly cooler than usual in
the New England States, the upper lake region,
and the Missouri valley; elsewhere it has been
warmer; the notable excesses ranging from de-
grees daily in the middle Atlantic States to de-
grees or more in the Ohio valley These high
temperatures have prevailed over the entire
cotton. corn and tobacco regions. Since Jan.
the temperature for the agricultural sections has
the corn and wheat districts of the Ohio valley
and Missouri. where tho mean daily excess of
heat has been from to degrees.
During tho week the rainfall has been in
excess This rain fall has come largely in severe
thundsrstorms. especially in Pennsylvania and
Maryland. While southern Michigan has been
favored by slight excess. the Ohio and Missis-
sppi valleys report for the week deficient rain
fall varying from 1-3 to 3-4 of the usual amount
Marked seasonal deficiencies of rainfall yet
obtain, amounting to ten inches or more In
Iowa, the lower Mississippi valley. Alabama
and Georgia In Iowa this deficiency has
steadily increased during the past month. but in
the other regions named the deficiency has
slowly diminished
The reports for the week show weather favor
able for the cotton crop, except In the Caro-
liuas, where many localities must need the rain
to-day predicted. While the high temperatures
tend to rapidly mature the growing corn, yet
more rain must be needful from Kansas and
Iowa eastward to Indiana
